THE TROY, IL PROPERTY MARKET
Troy sits at the heart of what makes the Metro East unique. It’s close enough to downtown St. Louis — about 20 miles — that a lot of people have moved out here for space while still commuting to the city. That means there’s a significant population of homeowners with three, five, ten, or more acres who need land management services and have the resources to invest in their property properly.
The area is also within a short drive of Scott Air Force Base to the south, which employs tens of thousands of people and generates a steady population of military families and retirees who purchase acreage in the area and need reliable service from someone local. Green Acres has served many of those clients over the years.
COMMON ISSUES ON TROY PROPERTIES
The most common land management challenge on Troy-area properties is invasive Asian bush honeysuckle. It grows throughout the region and spreads fast — a woodlot that looks manageable today can be completely impenetrable within a few seasons if the honeysuckle isn’t addressed. Honey locust and Russian olive are also common on area properties. Green Acres specializes in removing all three.
Pond and shoreline access is another frequent need in this area. A lot of Troy-area properties have a pond as a central feature — and a lot of those ponds are completely inaccessible by the time the owner calls us. Shoreline clearing is one of the services that consistently delivers the most dramatic results.
